Love this bag!
Why can’t they just call their colors “brown,” “green,” “red,” etc. instead of “clove” and “fig”? Are clove and fig both brown? Ugh.
I agree with you! It took me a while to figure out that Nightfall may be black (then again, it may be navy…hard to tell on the website). I had to order to confirm :)
R: agreed. Silly and annoying.
LOL! Don’t forget the “kelp” (green). But jokes aside, I love the color selection available!
This is a cute bag. But does anybody else think that hobo style bags, with their slouchy tops, are too casual for work? I always opt for a more structured tote style for work. Please tell me if I just need to loosen up and live a little…
I hear you.. I LOVE hobo style bags for my personal style.. but for work I usually carry something more structured. It’s easier to carry notebooks and folders in the structured bags anyway.
Depends on the bag, I think. I have a bottega veneta hobo that I carry daily to work and I think it looks pretty nice.
Loosen up & live a little! :)
Although some bags, hobo & not, are probably not good for work, a simple classic hobo bag is fine . . . enjoy yourself.
i can’t tell what the lining is made of. that is important to me. in the past i would have assumed its quality was consistent with the price of the item, but for xmas i ordered my mother an expensive purse online and was disappointed by the quality of the lining.
does anyone have familiarity with tahari bags?
I love these bags HOWEVER I feel like everything sinks to the bottom.
I need something a tad more structured and compartmentalized (and smaller!)than this. Otherwise I’ll just throw anything and everything into it and end up with a 10lb bag. Not great for the back.
Anyone else really turned off by the replica handbag ad that’s flashing in the sidebar? I just can’t support the trademark infringement of fake handbags- besides the fact that they usually look gross. Not a great fashion item for an “overachieving chick”. I’m a little surprised.
Agree… Totally creeps me out when I see it
I just purchased the last teal bag! I can’t wait to receive it!
